50th Birthday CardsCelebrating 50 years of life

50th birthday cards can be stunning and sensational. Actually, who said you can't be that at 50?

Well, it has finally arrived for someone to celebrate the BIG 'Five-O'. It's time to celebrate with him or her at this huge milestone. So let's send a fabulous Happy Birthday Card and let the 50th birthday guy or gal know how special and amazing he/she is.

Reaching 50 doesn't mean you are over the hill and on the way down. It's apt time to celebrate achievement and look forward to greater achievements. I just love the Red Hats Society's philosophy of growing old. A time to wear red hat, red robe and go out and have a birthday bash. How cool is that! Check out some of my Red Hats Cards.

Yes, this is the time to go out and celebrate with friends because it's definitely the beginning of a new chapter in your life.

Cardmaking Directions:

Paste rusty-red color card to the top of the card front flushed to turquoise card.

Stamp '50', 'FABULOUS' and 'kiss' in black pigment ink on the white cardstock.

Pour clear embossing powder on image and shake off excess.

Before heating with heat gun, tidy strayed powder with small brush.

Trim the stamped images. Cut off the k and s in 'kiss' and discard.

The two numbers should be trimmed closed to the outlines.

Tie ribbon around the right side of the number 0.

Layer numbers to turquoise and rusty-red scrap cardstock.

Co-ordinate the colors - card front: top rusty-red to number turquoise.

Glue, trim a border and glue again to the card front.

Make sure the colors are aligned.

Layer FABULOUS to rusty red card and 'is' to turquoise card.

Paste both onto the card front.

That's it! A stunning rusty red and turquoise 50th card to bring birthday greetings to someone dear. You can make any 50th birthday cards sensational. Try other designs. Make these cards bright, cheerful and uplifting.

The same design can be used for other birthday cards too. For example, 40th, 60th and so on. Be creative! Change the color combinations, use different stamp images, cliparts, different placements and embellishments. And you got a totally different kind of card design.

Talking about embellishments. Because of the popularity of scrapbooking, we, cardmakers, have lots of scrapbooking embellishments to choose from to decorate our homemade cards.

I will be adding more examples of these cards so do bookmark this website to see the new handmade greeting cards.

Card-making Tips

Clean clear stamp immediately with dish washing detergent after use. For stubborn stain, use a dish cloth to rub off the ink stains.

Use clear embossing powder on colored stamped images. If you missed any stray powder, it's not noticeble.
